Top-up limits

Top-ups cannot exceed the CPF Annual Limit of $37,740, which includes your mandatory CPF contributions for the calendar year. Top-ups in excess of the recipient’s Annual Limit will be refunded.

When you make a cash top-up online, you will be shown the amount of top-up you can receive before you reach the top-up limit.

If you are making a top-up on another person’s behalf, please check with your recipient directly on the amount he can receive.

If you are self-employed

To make top-ups to yourself or on another person’s behalf, you must make your MediSave contributions in full or be on GIRO monthly deductions under the Self-Employed Scheme.

Top-ups allocated to your MediSave Account cannot be used to offset your MediSave payable (if any) and cannot be used to meet your MediSave requirement for Workfare as a self-employed person.
